Kohl carving guys up.  And he was throwing gas down in AZ where we had Statcast, right?  Man it'd be great to have him back at Iowa before the end of the year.

Kepley came out mid-game.  Probably an injury but small chance of hug watch

I love me some Jose Escobar. Would love see him in a good hitting environment 

[Bertz]

Brett Bateman's hitting .310/.435/.426 as an age appropriate CF at Iowa.  He's also got major platoon splits, which is a bad thing if you're hoping for a full time regular but is very a good thing if all you're aiming for is a bench guy.

Triantos and Long are also red hot right now.  It feels like they can sense that this is their opportunity to hit themselves into a different org with more runway for their respective skillsets.

Kohl Franklin will be 80 years old and I'll still think "man if he could have one healthy year this dude can really break out"
